About This Home
Charming partial-fixer 3-bed, 2-bath tri-level on a wooded 0.74-acre corner lot in East Branch Estates, offering the peaceful Up North feel buyers love. With 1,720 finished sq. ft., the home includes 1,160 sq. ft. above grade featuring a bright main-floor living area and comfortable upper-level bedrooms. The walkout lower level is currently undergoing remediation and restoration during the listing period, improving utility and overall livability while still allowing room for future customization. This level adds 560 sq. ft. of cozy living space with a wood-burning fireplace, a second full bath, and direct backyard access.
Highlights include 2024 roof, 2022 windows, a leased rooftop solar panel system providing supplemental renewable energy to the home offsetting traditional electric grid costs, plus an oversized storage shed with an insulated, propane heated workshop. Enjoy rural tranquility with no HOA, private well and septic, and a paved county-maintained road just minutes from Crawford AuSable schools and the Au Sable River.
